Just this morning I had to put my poor 8 month old Pinky to sleep. She acted normal until last week. I took her to the Vet and she had a Tumor that was producing fluids making it hard for her to breathe. They tapped out the fluid and gave her some medicines that helped great until last Wednesday. She loodked horrible last night and I couldn't let her suffer anymore. I have 5 other cats *all inside*....and now I wondering if they all have it. My heart is so broken that I cannot quit crying. My other cats keep looking for her in the house and that is making it even worse. I love my cats more than most people and everytime I lose one over the years I go into a great depression for a while. I know that I did the right thing but I felt like I was pulling a plug or something. Sometimes life is not fair!!!! I hope that your kitty doesn't have the strain my Pinky had. I know that some cats live a full healthy life with this infection. I pray that your Skittles has the better strain of the virus! I am so sorry to hear about Skittles FELV.

It took 2 clinics to finally discover this in his blood after extensive checkups which amounted to close to $1000 vet bill in 2 days. I fail to understand that they couldn't figure this out a lot sooner because he certainly displayed all of the symptoms linked to Leukemia after I researched it on the Internet. We will miss him dearly- Best wishes to Skittles- she is young and from what I have read she could be strong enough to lead a healthy life.

I took my 1 yr old cat named Dori to the vet and she was diagnosed positive for Leukemia.. This is such a horrible disease , she has lost all her weight and sways when walking. The vet feels that she can stay at home as long as I am capable of tending to her on a 24/7 basis. Which Dori is my life and I do not mind one bit.. she deserves to be treated like a princess. I wish there was something I could try, But I have searched over and over and have came up with nothing. I am so sorry for what Skittles is going through.

I also found a product called Flor Essence that has been used with great success in cancer patients (people) and can be used on animals. It is all herbal, and was developed by a nurse....I've had him on it for almost two weeks now. He is eating, but very little, but more times a day...while he is still thin, he's still bright and alert, loves to cuddle, purrs, and does his 'twinkle toes' dance on me....I'm praying hard, and trying to be positive for a miracle. I have a multi cat household.....so if he's been infected, chances are someone else it too...they are all indoor cats, but can go out into a grassed yard where they can't get out...so we aren't sure how he got the infection. It breaks my heart to see my beautiful 5 year old boy not well....but miracles can and do happen...and I feel hopeful he will receive one.

My heart breaks for you. I currently have a 4 month old kitten at the vet now with feline lukemia and he is in the end stage. He got it from his mother. This has just devestated us. His name is Dobby and is the most precious and sweetest thing. He was fine just a week ago and we are having him put down in a couple of days. Our heart is broken.
